Did I miss a funny face somewhere here. What is Mark trying to clean
here? I thought the whole idea behind this cleaning ritual is to get
*rid* of the salt deposits that build up from the "hardness" in the
water! I don't know where he got the idea of trying salt water.
His description about the machine drawing too much current makes it even
bizarre. As some one else suggested orange juice may work better.
(How do you judge if it *works* or not :-)

My suggestion is to use peanut butter mixed with olive oil :-))))
If you don't know what you are talking about, please don't confuse
the gullible people on the net. half:)
